Today, one of the political talk show hosts – OK, the “biggest” talk show host – said on his show, and I’m paraphrasing (except for the material parts):  “Most of the low-information voters . . . not most . . .(correcting himself) . . . the majority of the low-information voters believe that . . .”

Can someone help me with this?  Does this guy really believe “the majority” means something different from “most” in this context?  Should I assume there was some reason, other than not understanding the language, for him to correct himself?

This stuff drives me nuts.
